…for Al Gore’s mouth.

Or should I say LYING mouth?

Recently, Al Gore was in Australia.
Heather Ewart, a reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Company, recently interviewed Al Gore.

At one point, she asked Gore about a High Court case in England two years ago about his film “An Inconvenient Truth” being shown to public school students. In that case, the judge ruled that Gore’s film contained nine significant scientific errors, that it “promotes partisan political views,” and that it could not be shown in public schools in England without the teachers providing additional materials to counter the film’s bias. Here is the exchange from the interview:

HEATHER EWART: There was also, though, a British judge who ruled that there were in fact, I think, nine errors when it was challenged in court?

AL GORE: Well, the ruling was in my favour. There have been a number of deniers trying to say that this isn’t real. Of course there are always going to be that, but the overwhelming majority of the scientists who’ve looked at this have said, “We’ve got to confront this.”

He didn’t answer the question posed! He also lied about the outcome of the case in his side-stepping answer. The judge, in fact, came out after the ruling and clearly stated that the claimant/plaintiff (a father of a student) had won the case:

“I conclude that the claimant substantially won this case by virtue of my finding that, but for the new guidance note, the film would have been distributed in breach of sections 406 and 407 of the 1996 Education Act.”

Lies and falsehoods don’t mean anything anymore. It used to be considered offensive and a blight on one’s character. No more. Seems  in these modern days, if your lies gets you the outcome you wish, it’s OK.  To go on farther, shame on those who do lie, but my goodness, it’s time to start looking at those of us that BELIEVE the lies. People need to wake up and deal with reality.
